Ratings and reviews

Good,especially for colloquialisms and more obscure words.Thorough too.

I have used this app for some time now and must testify that it is very helpful to me especially in the areas of word meaning with examples of them in sentences. I like the pronunciation aid, the phonetic transcription. I thank the developers for making it offline and freely available to individuals interested in the language. I should give it Five Stars if the key entry words have German sounds to aid foreigners and beginners with the correct German accent. I am Fada Umuchukwu (M. I. Ngwu)

Very detailed entries that include etymology & examples of how the word is used in sentences. Update: extremely intrusive ads, including video & sound, now pop up without warning.
